I have two degrees in zoology. I think I know the reasonableness of evolution as a scientific “theory”.
I am also a self-confessed Christian who basically believes in the Bible as a soiurce of religious and moral dogma. I have no problem reconciling my faith with scientific fact.
Its unfortunate some other individuals’ faith is so shallow they need to reject scientific facts to confirm their religious beliefs.
Really?
So, can you make a testable prediction based upon this theory?
Can you even tell me what the theory is? Is it based in any way upon what Darwin wrote in Origin of Species? What text best explains this theory to students?
I have several texts that supposedly deal with evolution. E.g. I have Freeman and Herron's Evolutionary Analysis 3rd Edition at hand; 802 pages. It has one chapter on speciation, which is all we're talking about here. The chapter begins on page 583. It runs on to page 614. The rest is primarily fluff, not very different from the stuff in Genesis where Jacob breeds spotted goats. The index references to speciation are: 37, 102-3, 574, 583-614. In other words a book on evolution has 36 pages out of 802 pages which even attempt to touch on the topic. I haven't looked at the speciation chapter recently but my recollection is that it doesn't do much to explain how a new animal species might arise; and answers no questions that I might raise. If you think this is science, you should return your degrees.
